Downgradde Vista64 to XP Pro. Can't get internet, sound, and various other items to work. HELP?

Thought of myself as fairly computer savvy, but this is kicking my a$$. Don't want to deal with Vista anymore, and some of my commonly used software will not work on it. I have a XP Pro SP3, just need to get my hardware working. CPU is AMD x64, chipset is nVidia nForce, laptop is DV2000 (on carriage) or DV2500 (on label). Major issues are sound and internet. Have the video working well, and decent functionality. Any ideas appreciated. Have downloaded half a gig of drivers and they don't seem to be doing the job!
